Everyday Gathas for Teaching

Jennifer

Spring 1991

Breathing in
I calm mind and body
Breathing out
I smile

Breathing in
I see what needs doing
Breathing out
I let go of all else

Breathing in
I feel compassion
Breathing out
I practice nonattachment

Breathing in
I experience as is
Breathing out
I feel peace

Breathing in
I bring joy to my work
Breathing out
I smile

*Gathas’ are small prayers or “remembrances.”
